Is Excited Delirium Valid Excuse?

I have been waiting for this for EVER.   The cause of “excited delirium” will NOT be a viable excuse in the Otto Zehm case.   High time.   I have always felt that excited delirium was a lame justification for death by taser.  In fact, I think tasering causes excited delirium.  

Read excellent article by Thomas Clouse, ‘Excited delirium’ theory barred from Zehm trial'
